They have to keep the shaman and the paladins tanking abilities mostly equal. The shaman right now has an easier time holding aggro (higher damage more control of the damage more high threat skills) but they can not take a pounding as well, even when spec'd for tanking (getting the ability to parry). A shaman not spec'd to tank is even worse off than a paladin is.
This has to be balanced somehow even with PvP having the other issues each faction should have the same number of tank choices. This is why I want more controlled DPS for paladins and more ways to reduce damage taken (at the cost of dealing damage) for shaman.
